He was the Bengals back-up...why would they do this..Kitna is really bad. I mean he's a good back-up guy...but why would you go scrap the bottom of the barrell?

My guess would be that they grew wary of the Joey Harrington and Mike McMahon quarterback debacle, and they wanted someone who could "manage the team" while they groom either Josh McCown (another off-season signee) or Dan Orlovsky to be the long-term quarterback. Plus, looking at his numbers from the Bengals a few years ago as well as a few Seahawks seasons, he seemed to be at least a viable option as a starter for a year or two. Lastly, in the quarterback market in the last off-season, only Daunte Culpepper and Drew Brees seemed to be real "franchise" quarterbacks. However, both of them had very serious injuries the year before and the Lions may have been worried about long-term durablilty of either of those two, not to mention a little worried about the financial investment needed to acquire either of those two. All in all, the Kitna signing is not terrible, it is just not working out well at the beginning of the season.

i dont trust the lions will make the playoffs this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, merely too many holes on the team. although, kitna is the chief and has to seek for recommendations to encourage his choose. rejuvinate the team. it hasnt experienced any exhilaration on condition that barry sanders retired from the game. kitna is likely searching upon the nfc north, and declaring, hi, we were given a probability. definite, that is authentic, the lions do have a probability in that branch. that is not any longer as hard because it changed into once, no longer to point being aside of the hardest branch (nfc mandatory) contained in the ninety's. the bears are the fashionable team to win the dept by maximum persons. reason being, they have a reliable protection. some others and likely kitna see in the different case. bears lost their protecting coordinator and a number of different gamers on protection are gone or are coming lower back from an damage, which they are going to in no way play on the same aspect as they once did. next, the packers are a group of underdogs. that's the youngest team contained in the nfl, which signifies that maximum persons of this team nonetheless has an incredible style of gaining information of to do. its gamers are open to many mistakes. very last, they ought to conquer out the vikings. this team merely went backwards starting up with the firing of mike tice! should be a cakewalk over those adult men. truth is, kitna see's this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days as an chance and is hoping to energise the team. it may ensue, it has got here about in the previous (kinda concerning the saints 06).

I don't understand yer question at all, what is the problem with Kitna in Detroit? Why wouldn't Matt Millen bring him in?
Millen totally sucks as Lions president.
Kitna totally sucks as a quarterback.
The Detroit Lions totally suck as a football team.
Seems to me like a "match made in Heaven" .............

Bottom of the barrell? He's not that bad of a quarterback and a heck of an upgrade than Harrington. They should have drafted Leinhart though. Idiots.

After dealing Joey Harrington, he was probably one of the few QBs with any experience available. They need to think about drafting a quarterback to groom for the future, and with the record they're sure to have, it will be early 1st round.....
